Etymologies

colour +‎ -ist (Wiktionary)

Examples

The importance of accepting that I am an outsider to eighteenth-century society, that no amount of enthusiasm or belated participation will ever make me into an eighteenth-century colorist, is one lesson I have learned from this discipline.

When making comic books, the colorist is the only person responsible for the finished product; the contributions of the writer, artist, and letterer don’t count, because they weren’t the last ones to contribute.

Furthermore, Quitely's and colorist Alex Sinclair's full-page image of the Dynamic Duo's descent (Robin in the lead, as shown in thumbnail here) lacks the deep, black shadows that have dramatized Batman stories for seventy years.
